What is a Currency Converter?

Converts between world currencies using live exchange rates - used by travellers, importers, and investors.

How It Works

Amount in target = Amount x Exchange rate. Mid-market rate = average of buy/sell. Banks add 1-3% margin.

Example

$1,000 USD at Rs.83.5/dollar = Rs.83,500 mid-market. Bank at 1.5% margin: Rs.82,247. Wise (0.4%): Rs.83,165 - saves Rs.918.

Pro Tips
  • Use Wise, Revolut, or Google Pay for international transfers - bank margins are 3-5x higher.
  • Airport exchange counters have the worst rates (5-8% margins) - exchange before departing.
  • USD-INR is managed by RBI - expect Rs.82-86 range in 2024-25 with RBI limiting volatility.
  • Business forex: forward contracts lock in today's rate for future planned transactions.
